An Introduction to the Dosage of VigRX
VigRX™ is meant to be taken every single day, much like a multivitamin (not just before sexual intercourse, like many other sexual enhancement products). The standard recommended dosage for VigRX is one capsule twice daily. It is not known if this dose is either safe or effective.
Herbal Supplements: The Problems With Dosing
For people who desire precise and scientifically established dosing recommendations, herbal supplements pose a few problems. First of all, herbal supplements are not required to seek approval from the FDA. As a result, the careful dosing studies that are required for prescription medications are not required for herbal supplements. Without dosing studies, there is little high-quality dosing information available for most herbal supplements. For many herbal supplements (including VigRX), there is simply not enough information to know for sure if the "recommended" dose is either safe or effective.
To make matters worse, there is little regulation for the manufacturing of herbal supplements. Supplements have sometimes been found to be contaminated with various substances, including heavy metals or prescription drugs. Over the years, several supposedly natural and herbal "male enhancement" supplements were found to be intentionally contaminated with
sildenafil (
Viagra®) or other similar drugs. Also, supplements sometimes have the problem of containing too much or (more often) too little of the labeled active ingredients.
